Surrey driver loses Lamborghini for a week after speeding on Delta bridge

Feb 6, 2026 | 9:33 AM

SURREY — A Surrey man had to go home without his Lamborghini after being clocked at more than double the speed limit on the Alex Fraser Bridge on Wednesday evening (Feb. 4).

Just after 8 p.m., BC Highway Patrol spotted the luxury SUV driving “much faster” than other northbound traffic over the bridge in Delta when the radar read it going 197 km/h in a 70 zone. 

“Some drivers seem to think that bridges are free from speed enforcement. That is a foolish and dangerous assumption. Bridges are no strangers to deadly collisions,” says Corporal Michael McLaughlin with BC Highway Patrol. 

“Driving over double the speed limit is extremely dangerous to you, your passengers, and everyone around you.”

Family picked up the 51-year-old driver and his two passengers, and he has been fined a total of $592 for excessive speed and an illegal window tint, not including the cost of a tow truck and a week-long impound.

“The driver claimed he was showing his out-of-country cousins the sights of Metro Vancouver,” says Corporal McLaughlin. “Instead, they saw the consequences of dangerous driving. We’re grateful it didn’t end much worse.”
